Al-Jasim Plastering was started by Ahmad (pronounced Ak-med) Al-Jasim. Ahmad came to New Zealand as a refugee from the war in Syria and through hardwork and diligence, he started his business in Wellington. His story is not just a story of seeking safety and security; it was also the beginning of a new chapter of hope. As he settled into his new home, he found himself contemplating the possibility of turning his passion for plastering into a thriving business.
